JOHN HUG, OF RIPLEY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO F. J. HOUGHTON, OF CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, NElV YORK.

SAW-TOOTH JOINTER AND GAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,907, dated September 22, 1885.

(N0 model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN HUG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ripley, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jointers and Baker-Gages for Saws, of which the following is a specification.

The accompanying drawings represent my invention.

The several views represent my device, as follows: Figures 1 and 3 are opposite side views; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal sectional View; Fig. 4, an end view; Fig. 5, a view of point B B, plates and plate of hardened steel O, or raker-plate.

My invention relates to an improvement in jointing the cutting-teeth and gaging the raker-teeth of crosscut-saws, and is a set gage giving the operator a guide by which to regulate the saw, wherever he may be using it, should the saw get out of order.

A represents the main body of my device. 0, in Fig. 2, represents a suitable plate of steel, hardened to resist the action of the file, under which is a coiled spring, E, which adjusts the plate C to the proper position as screws D D are turned, cutting the raker teeth oil much or little, according to the timher, whether hard or soft. Upon each side of plate 0 are flanges B B, best shown in Fig. 5, and is my device for raker-gage. In the lower edge, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is a notch,

F, in which a file is placed edgewise, and screw G is turned down upon the side, holding it in position, and acts as a jointer for the cutting-teeth, being a perfect square, excepting a slight bevel near the file to accom1nodate the set.

\Vhen used as a rakergage, the body A is placed against the blade of the saw, with the flanges upon the cuttingteeth. Then the rakers will be opposite the plate 0, and by using the file and holding it fiat on plate 0, the rakers will be cut off square on the points and of desired length by turning the screws D D. down 5 for soft Wood and up for hard.

\Vhen used as ajointer for the cutting-teeth, the file is placed in notch F and screw G is turned firmly onto the file, the edge of the body a is placed against the saw with the file on the cutting-teeth, and is moved lengthwise of the saw until the file touches each cutting-tooth.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is- The improved saw-jointcr and rakergage, consisting of the body A, cut and notched, as shown, the plates 13 B and (1, spring E, and screws D D and G, substantially as described.

JOHN HUG.
